There was a two-day stopover on the Marshall capital island of Majuro, waiting for the plane to Anna's island. It was arranged for Paul to visit a school on the island of Ejit, two little islands past Majuro Island on the ring of islands that make up the Majuro atoll. To get to Ejit, you go to the end of Majuro and walk to the beach. If you want to see where this is on Google Maps, click here (Majuro is on the right, and Ejit on the left. The beach is on the south corner of Majuro's tip. The school is on the north tip of Ejit. You can zoom in to see it, or zoom out to see where the Marshall Islands are)

Then you wait until a boat comes by and offers you a ride. Ejit is two islets away, about ten minutes.

Paul is following Dartmouth Voluteer Teaching Program field director Kristin Romberg across the island to the school. Kristin is carrying an LCD projector, borrowed from the Ministry of Education.
